Summer in the Woods

0 Comments
This summer I’m interning with the Upper Valley Land Trust as a seasonal land steward! As a steward, my day-day changes a lot: sometimes you can find me in the office going over files and writing reports and on other days I’ll be out in the woods monitoring a property. I’ve had the opportunity to walk with a few landowners which has been wonderful, but usually my only company is me, myself, and I. Unless of course you count deer, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, an endless amount of bugs… oh and bears. Maybe it’s just an intern’s bad luck or this summer is a bear’s paradise, but I’ve already had a few encounters with our fuzzy black mammal friends. Because of this I thought I’d freshen up on my knowledge of ursus americanus.

Lyme Pinnacle is one of the town’s most iconic landscape features and the Conservation Area is popular for hikers, cyclists and picnickers. The addition of a 47-acre parcel to the Lyme Pinnacle Conservation Area has provided a secure trail connection to Franklin Hill Road. The new parcel includes two wetlands and 1,428 feet of frontage on an unnamed stream, as well as several acres of open field habitat and almost half a mile of frontage on Franklin Hill Road. It offers recreational connections between numerous trail loops and scenic dirt roads in the area, just in time for outdoor enjoyment this summer!
